This grilled shrimp cocktail offers sensational flavors in less than 15 minutes. Tossing the shrimp in the paprika and salt coats them with a fiery flavor while adding lime juice and cilantro to store bought cocktail sauce creates a unique dipping sauce and saves a ton of time. Serve this as a quick and delicious appetizer for game day or even a cocktail party or, serve over a bed of brown rice and grilled vegetables for a hearty dinner. If you prefer a smoky flavor, try smoked paprika in place of the hot or, cut the heat and use regular paprika for a milder option. If you have a grilling basket, cut out the skewers and use it to contain the shrimp on the grill. Ask your fishmonger to peal and devein your shrimp in the store so you can avoid a step at home.
